G'day Jim, been quiet of late, don't have a lot to do with the US these days other than ordering HipSticks by the truck load, Aussies really have taken a shine to them laugh.gif . Would probably prefer keeping away from the forum etc until Rob has had a chance to clean things up. huh.gif

Not exactly according to my virus scan. I've been out mining for a few days and just tried to check his forum and my virus program locked his forum completely out. I can't go there no matter what right now so it's not too clean IMHO.

Still giving me problems..... it's reported as a malware site, both JP and I sent him the text page we received that details what he can do to resolve, hopefully it helps.

For those of you using Firefox who are not able to see the pages without the error message. Go into your Netscape preferences (under Netscape, Preferences on Mac version) and on the Security tab, uncheck the "Block reported attack sites" setting and you can at least see and submit posts.

From what I see this isn't saying that the Nuggethunting forum has issues now, it is saying that it has had issues in the last 90 days, the last issue was on "2009-10-30", which was Friday, so the way I see it, everyone that is being blocked by their virus programs/browsers will have to wait 88 more days to get on the forum or bypass their blocking software.

The site is fine now, I have check it with my Norton program and several other programs I have (all with the latest updates) and I cannot find a problem with the Nuggethunting Forum now.

You will have to decide for yourselves though.

Rob posted this early this morning on this forum...

"Hey Guys,

It might take a few days to get everything cleared up. I have to run a series of Malware programs to make sure all the crap is off. My ISP cleared everything on their end, just making sure everything is cleared on my end before I tell Google to release my domain back to the engines. In the meantime, it seems like most are still able to access the forums and such.

Talk with you later,

Rob Allison"

Here is what my checker says. Like Rob says, it may take a couple of days for GOOGLE to release it as it was pretty screwed up. Hope all stay safe.

Another update Rob posted on Nuggethunting Forum...

"Hello All,

I finally was contacted by Google and they have released my website and forums. They also reconsidered my sites again, so they will be back in the same search engine status as before. I noticed up entire last night I was still getting the "red warning sign" when I went to my site from Google or some other search engines. Google recommends that all customers and forum users to delete their old cookies to make sure you're still not getting the message.

If you still are, please email me or post here if you can.

Thanks in advance!

Rob Allison"

I had the same thing happen to my website about a year ago. My ISP server got hacked, the host recognized the problem and fixed it pretty quickly using their backup files, but during the time it was contaminated google noted it was infected. Like Rob, it took a while of messing around to get them to lift the designation even though the actual problem was removed in less than 24 hours.

A good stout rope and a tall Oak Tree could be combined to take care of these hackers.
